My comment was a plea for folks to stop posting — and writing — inflammatory material!

  Perhaps I completely misread it? It still sounds inflammatory to me, especially the "deserved" bit at the end, which seems like tossing in a Molotov cocktail. If you did intend it as an anti-flamewar measure, that's a good intention, but as you can see from how badly it backfired, not a good way to go about it.

    > It still sounds inflammatory to me It rally wasn't meant to be. The article in question was very good, I thought, except for its needlessly inflammatory reference to something which still gets emotions high (for no particularly good reason, since the facts are easily available, but that's neither here nor there). Articles like this would be much more persuasive if they stuck to the (incredibly important) facts, and didn't engage in fantasies, stoking the fires of needless dissent as they do so.

      Agreed, but please don't post comments that stoke fires of needless dissent in their own right, however inadvertently.
